Resolved that there ought to be a concurrence of death without Issue male and also of alienation before the rising of the Remainder 3. That the Remainder should never rise because the particular estate was destroyed by the alienation before the Remainder could commence 4. That the Lease for 1000. years made to I. S. was not an alientation within the Proviso upon which the estate might rise to W. when T. was dead without Issue male because that T. who made the Lease was but Tenant in Tail and then the Lease was determined upon his death It was the opinion of all the Justices in C. B. that the Judgment should be for the Defendant upon which Judgment the Plaintiff brought a Writ of Error in B R. and there by all the Justices upon the matter in Law the Judgment was reversed Mich 3.

He was committed to the Fleet by the High Commissioners for not performing of the Orders in the Common Prayer and for refusing to answer to Articles exhibited by the Commissioners unless he might have a copy of the Articles Resolved he should be delivered because the Statute upon which he was sued in that Court is penal and also because perhapps the High Commissioners had not jurisdiction of the cause Brokes Case 1069.

That the Plaintiff had no cause of Action because the three Butts being not Re-delivered the Defendant might detain the 22 l. and the Bag for ever 3. There needs no request in this case because the Plaintiff at his peril is to cause them to be delivered before he is enabled to have his mony again It was adjudged for the Defendant Ford and Hoskins Case 1071. Action upon the case that the custom of the Mannor of B. was that every Copyholder might name who should have his Copyhold and that the Lord ought to admit the Copyholder so named after the death of the Nominator which the Lord refused to do It was Resolved the action did not lie for that the Nominatee hath no right at all the Interest being in the Lord and the Nominatee hath neither jus ad rem nec in re and he shall not draw an Interest to himself from the Lord against his Will and if one hath the Nomination and another hath the Presentation to a Benefice if he who hath the Presentation will not present an Action upon the case will not lie against him Brownlo Cop and Mitchells Case 1072. Assise against the Defendant for a Disseisin made to the Plaintiff of the profits of the Office of making Supersedeas The King directed his Writ to the Justices reciting that he by his Letters Patent had granted the making of Supersedeas to the Defendant and required the Justices not to proceed Rege inconsulto It was argued that the Writ did not lie because the King had not any title to the thing in demand nor could any prejudice come to the King On the other side it was said That in common Right it belonged to the King to make Grants of Offices Ministerial and Judicial unless another made Title to the same by Charter or Prescription and if the Plaintiff had title to the Office or not it is matter of Title for which the King is to have search in Chancery and if nothing be found for the King against the Prescription made by the Plaintiff then a Procedendo shall issue out of the Chancery otherwise if title be found for the Patentee against the Prescription Afterwards the Supersedeas was allowed by the Court and afterwards the matter was ended by composition Keckwichs Case 1073.

In False Imprisonment The Question was whether a Constable may make a Deputy to arrest one by a Warrant to him directed by a Justice of Peace the constable himself being sick and whether upon the Defendants pleading in such case of the Statute of 7 Jac. cap. 5. he shall have double costs It was Resolved he may make a Deputy and a Deputy is within the meaning of the Statute for he is a Constable pro tempore Smith and Bulls Case 1076.

It was holden by the Court that whereas the name of the Sheriff was not endorsed upon the tales de circumstanubus that was no cause to stay Judgment because the Statute which gives tales doth not provide for such Retorn and also because it is done in the face and view of the Court and of the Judges and therefore not to be doubted but the Sheriff made the Return Luke and Clerks Case 1079. If the Defendant challenge the Array for Consanguinity of the Sheriff which is found against him and after he challenge the Poles Resolved he must shew cause of challenge of every one of them presently Blandford and Blandford Case 1080.

Note by the Justices If a man seised of a Rent charge be bounden in a Statute and Execution be sued upon it the Rent shall be extended in Execution and yet the Statute de Mercatoribus speaks only of the Goods and Lands of the debtour and doth not speak of Tenements or other things 100.

of B. was behind for which the grantees destrained by their Bayliffs In this Case it was Resolved 1. That this demise and Lease was joynt and entire and so was the Condition of it notwithstanding the several Reservations of the Rents 2. That the grantee of parcell of the Reversion could not take advantage of the Condition but that the Condition as to the grantee was determined 3. That the bargainee was a sufficient Assigne within the Statute to take advantage of the Condition by the Statute of 27. H. 8. of uses which gives Cestuy que use the possession and the Estate of the Feoffees and all the advantages which the Feoffes might have and they agreed the Condition to be determined upon this difference viz. When it is entire one cannot divide it by his own act but by act of Law in may be divided and apportioned and so it was in this Case Hunks and Alboroughs Case 232. A man made his Will and gave divers Legacies and in the end of it he gave all the rest of his goods to his Wife who he made his Executor to pay his debts she took Husband who made the Defendant his Executor and dyed against whom the Wife Executrix brought Detinue of the goods of her first Husband and adjuged maintainable because she took the goods not as Legatee but as Executrix Harwell and Lucas Case 233.

Acres the Money was not paid afterwards the first Lessee for years attorned the Husband and wife dyed the first Lease ended the second Lessee dyed his Wife married the Defendant The Son of A. distreyned for the Rent It was adjudged in this Case That although the reversion of the 6. Acres did not passe by the Livery without attornment yet the attornment of the first Lessee was sufficient and although the use to the Feoffees and their Heirs was determined before the attornment yet the attornment was good to passe the Reversion to the last contingent use and so the Title of the Sonne of A. to the Rent was good Cranmers Case 234. King Henry 8. made a Lease of Land for 21. years the Reversion came to E. 6. who Anno primo of his reign granted the same to Cranmer Bishop of Canterbury He 6 E 6. granted the Reversion to D. and C. to the use of the Bishop for life the Remainder for 20. years to the use of the Executors of the Bishop the Remainder in tayle to the Grantor the Remainder to his right Heirs The Bishop in time of Queen Mary was attainted of Treason and all his Lands and Chattels given to the Queen by Act of Parliament The Queen was possessed of the Term for 20. years and granted the same to I. S. It was adjudged That the term for years in remainder was never in the Bishop to forfeit but it was only an authority to nominate Executors in whom the Term should vest by purchase and because by reason of his Attainder he could not make Executors the Term for 20. years did never rise and so the Grant of it by the Queen Mary to I.

Daughters A. took a Wife and had Issue by her and dyed E. and F. dyed C. conveyed the Mannor to D. upon whom the eldest Daughter of E. entred and made a Lease of her part In this case It was resolved 1. That the use for the life of E. and F. did well rise although the marriage took no effect the use being declared upon an Estate executed which needs not any consideration but otherwise if it had been upon a Covenant to stand se●sed upon consideration of Marriage and Money for there without Marriage no use would rise although the Money was paid 2ly That the Election should go to him who was to take the use 3ly That the limitation was not void for the incertainty 4ly That in this Case although the Cestuy que use did not make the Election during his life yet he in the Remainder might after his death 5ly The Court doubted whether the Remainder did take effect because the Marriage did not take effect and they conceived it was not the intent of the Parties that should be advanced with so much Land if the Marriage did not take effect The matter was afterwards ended by Arbitrament Lane and Coopers Case 238.
